ZTE is working on the MTV-branded handset, or at least the FCC filing suggests so. It’s marked as the F870E, and it boasts a touchscreen along with a sliding QWERTY keyboard.
From the phone’s user manual, we see that it’s heading to Vodafone, as it provides access to Vodafone’s MTV Music and the Vodafone Pass MTV websites. That makes me wonder – if it’s a Vodafone device, why on Earth does it need to get an FCC approval? Go figure.
Anyway, rest of the specs include a 3-megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, email client and so on.
We don’t know the release date nor how much will the F870E cost once it’s released. We do, however, think it will also be launched in China by China Unicom, as some screenshots indicate. As soon as we hear something new, you’ll be the first to know…
